The organizer of Wednesdays protest, Katherine Muller, called on Cofield to resign so Moore could be re-appointed.

That called drew cheers from the crowd, made up mostly of students.

"As a citizen of South Carolina and a student at the (Darla Moore School of Business), I feel that removing her is a grievous error," said Chis Campbell, a 21-year old junior. "Gov. Haley is thinking too much about her political career and not enough about the students."
